Fram Endurance is as good but only sold at Wally World.
Nothing better.

as long as its the 20-820 imo you running the best filter as well. endurance would be fe2 part number.Understood, for a couple hundred dollars an oil change I don't mind changing it sooner, if it were a couple thousand then that's a different story.
I haven't look at the oil filter thread in awhile but I'm running the royal purple.... Is there something better that should be considered now?
Also something to note this is with a tune that turns off the mds for the entire oil change
It is the 20-820as long as its the 20-820 imo you running the best filter as well. endurance would be fe2 part number.
It looks good. Supports the claim that Redline is a really great oil and worth the price. Why does the first with the Amsoil SS have the Hazard sign? Was that oil not good?Here is my latest oil analysis with RL 5/30. Just over 20k mile oil change with nearly 100k miles on engine. Using Amsoil air filter and Amsoil dual remote bypass filter system.

I use PAPE for oil analysis. Just the way they flag items, in that case the engine was newer and breaking in. RL 5/30 just seemed to be better than the Amsoil 5/20ss. The dual filter bypass allows me to run extended oil interval as it was the best result in spite of 20k miles than previous results.It looks good.

For the Hemi, even though it looks like Redline can handle it, I would avoid going over 5000 miles on the oil change interval. On an engine getting close to 100,000 in mileage, continuing 20k intervals would be just asking for trouble IMO.
crazy impressive when you see the new 20k mile interval and near 2 years, thanks for posting!Here is my latest oil analysis with RL 5/30. Just over 20k mile oil change with nearly 100k miles on engine. Using Amsoil air filter and Amsoil dual remote bypass filter system.

I'm sending in my first oil analysis on this truck to Blackstone. Is the TBN useful and necessary with today's oil? I've heard different opinions and don't mind the extra $10.00 if it's useful.
This oil sample on the Pentastar is 5986 miles on 5.75 quarts of PUP 5/30, and 15oz Lubegard Biotech. Total engine mileage is 34604 miles.
Perfect, it appears like one of those 500k mile trucks.Just got a UOA back, been using PUP 5W-20 for the last 3 oil changes. The previous owner used a 5W20 synthetic blend from whatever shop they had doing the maintenance, so I waited a couple of intervals until sending in the analysis.
Thoughts in general? Positive comments from Blackstone...
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W20
7,000km interval
MOPAR filter
Mine is a bit different because I'm in Canada but mailed from the US via a family member who makes trips over the border fairly frequently. Jason at Blackstone told me that typically from payment received to analysis given is about a week.Looks like it took about 3 1/2 weeks to get your sample. Mine is out two weeks today. Guess I have some time to go.
What little I've learned here and other places, your sample looks very good.

The wear looks fantastic, but we don't have a large body of that engine uoa's. Moly can cause copper numbers up, but I doubt that is what is going on here. Just young engine still getting washed out, get another one and see if it is trending down. I disagree with Blackstone, at 2.7 tbn imo it is a perfect time for new oil, so imo I'd stick at the 6k interval and also test that again. I'd be pretty happy with that report, what filter are you using? That oil is well built as well, even if you took the biotech out that oil is a good oil on paper. Not saying you should take it out, but the oil is serving you well.Well, after my rant about my oil report 3 hours ago, I look, and the report just showed up in my e-mail.
I'm well know for sticking my foot in my mouth, so I guess this one more time won't hurt me much...lol
Here goes.... Does my copper look a little high?
